One Minute Reflection – 27 May

May Christ dwell in your hearts through faith……Ephesians 3:17

REFLECTION – “Bear Christ in heart, mind and will. Bear Him in your mind by His teaching. Bear Him in your will by your observance of the Law. Bear Him in your heart by the Holy Eucharist.”…………Venerable Servant of God Pope Pius XII

PRAYER – Heavenly Father, let me be true bearer of Christ, Your Son, by doing always the things that are in imitation of and pleasing to Him. Help me to bear witness to Him in the world, one just as pagan as that approached by St Augustine of Canterbury in trepidation. But in Your light and by Your Holy Spirit, he succeeded and pleased You, help me too I beg, to work for the salvation of souls. St Augustine of Canterbury, pray for us all, amen.

Thought for the Day – 27 May

St Augustine of Canterbury comes across today as a very human saint, one who could suffer like many of us from a failure of nerve.    For example, his first venture to England ended in a big U-turn back to Rome.    He made mistakes and met failure in his peacemaking attempts with the Briton Christians.    He often wrote to Rome for decisions on matters he could have decided on his own had he been more self-assured.    He even received mild warnings against pride from Pope Gregory, who cautioned him to “fear lest, amidst the wonders that are done, the weak mind be puffed up by self-esteem.” Augustine’s perseverance amidst obstacles and only partial success teaches today’s apostles and pioneers to struggle on despite frustrations and be satisfied with gradual advances.  by Fr. Don Miller, OFM

St Augustine of Canterbury Pray for us!

Happy Feast Day of St Augustine of Canterbury “The Apostle of England” – May 27 

Work was sometimes slow and Augustine did not always meet with success. Attempts to reconcile the Anglo-Saxon Christians with the original Briton Christians (who had been driven into western England by Anglo-Saxon invaders) ended in dismal failure. Augustine failed to convince the Britons to give up certain Celtic customs at variance with Rome and to forget their bitterness, helping him evangelize their Anglo-Saxon conquerors. Labouring patiently, Augustine wisely heeded the missionary principles—quite enlightened for the times—suggested by Pope Gregory the Great: purify rather than destroy pagan temples and customs; let pagan rites and festivals be transformed into Christian feasts; retain local customs as far as possible. The limited success Augustine achieved in England before his death in 605, a short eight years after he arrived in England, would eventually bear fruit long after in the conversion of England. Augustine of Canterbury can truly be called the “Apostle of England.”
